Werewolf Magick: Authentic Practical Lycanthropy

Not for or about therians, AND THAT'S A GOOD THING.
I don't get why all the other 'kin in the comments are complaining about this book. Animal magic and shapeshifting are not the sole property of any subgroup, and let's face it, when most people think of spirituality of this sort wolves pop into mind first and foremost. This book is for the everyman and average joe who wants a chance to bring some ferocity and wildness into their life and craft, not someone who is aware of an inherent animality of self (although it can definitely be used by those people!)This is about the real, deep understanding that EVERYONE has a primal part of themselves if they desire to tap into it. Besides, the smart and crafty practitioner can and will adapt these methods and ideas to other animals and even mythical creatures. Wolves and werewolves are just very ingrained in collective consciousness as the quintessential shapeshifters, and this book does an incredible job of focusing on self and nature as the only real tools someone needs to get in touch with that part of themselves, whether it's organic to their sense of self or created through the workings and concepts presented within.Seeing how much was dedicated to vocalization and animalistic movement and consciousness was refreshing, unique, wonderful, and above all, genuine. I've worked extensively with using those things as vehicles of magic and energy work, and seeing someone else not only do such a thing but writing an entire book on it is reassuring and exciting. In too many books of magic and dedicated websites, so much emphasis is put on the words and incantations themselves rather than the force and intent behind them, and that's all animal vocalizations in magic ARE.This book isn't for or about therianthropes or otherkin because it doesn't have to be and honestly shouldn't be. You either are or aren't those things, but anyone can learn to shapeshift and unleash their primal nature in life and magic. Giving people access to and ideas for such concepts existing outside those identities is vital and should be celebrated and encouraged, not berated. It wouldn't have been appropriate for the author to mention them because this book is more about becoming than discovery, and that's just as important if not moreso since it opens up avenues and abilities for people to explore being animal in ways that are more appropriate to them and their needs.This was a book that, in my opinion, needed to be written. Thank you, Mr. Sargent, for writing a fun, accessible, and practical guide for exercising and feeding your inner beast, regardless of how that beast came to be.

well written
This book is insightful a few tweak ups needed for the workings, but I also am super experienced with magic.

More than meets the untrained eye
It's a magnificent and deep book that can be utilized by beginners. It takes an eclectic approach because of the Authors honest and open lifestyle with ties to multiple lodges and covens. Now this book will call to certain people. Its laced with a magic of its only which only SOME are sensitive to. You will notice it in the introduction and dedications. On the surface it may seem disorganized but is really quite profound. I'm buying a second copy after my first was stolen. I only wish I could get a signed copy.

Helpful information
The author writes with a clear, readable style and I found his overviews of the history of lycanthropy well-researched with some information I had not previously seen. I also found the information on the fetch and how to engage with one to be useful and not found in other books of my experience. There was more focus on ritual than I was interested in but, candidly, I am not much of a ritual person. Nevertheless, the book is a "solid" and a welcome addition to my library on the lore of lycanthropy.

Incredible
Excellent! I read the entire thing in one sitting, couldn't put it down. As a fellow author devoted to shapeshifting I can't wait to go through each exercise & ritual bite by bite. Definitely a book I will read over and over again.

The real deal
For any werewolves who lost contact with the family tradition, and for anyone who wants to become one of us.

Ok, ma è... astruso
Il prodotto è buono e ben nutrito di informazioni ma, purtroppo, queste ultime sembrano essere particolarmente astruse. Si eleva il fenomeno dello Shifting sperimentato dagli Otherkin (prevalentemente Therian) a livelli apicali, quindi si trasmette ai lettori in modo molto pratico, quasi commerciale ("Tutti possono farlo!") . Presenta quindi un mix di concetti, questi ultimi diffusi nello sciamanesimo, mischiati con filosofie religiose simili alla wicca e quindi potenziate e rafforzate da pre-concetti già presenti nell'ambiente Therian (anche se mai viene citato esplicitamente) e/o spirituale (Spirito guida, animale totem, etc...).Un po' confuso. Interessante... ma un po' confuso.
